I have been gaming since I was six years old, back in the beautiful year of 1990 (man, Im getting old XD). Graduated as an Industrial Engineer. Fan of anime, manga and comics. Im partial towards the consoles and games from Nintendo and Sony, although I would probably play in every platform in existence if I had the time and money to do so. Im a bit of a retro gamer, but without disparaging modern games. Unyielding fan of The Legend of Zelda and Mega Man, I will probably keep playing games from those franchises until I die.

This year has been fantastic for Nintendo but now the question is if they will maintain the same momentum in 2018. Competition will be stronger next year and they haven't announced firmly regarding their 1st party release schedule. Hopefully we'll see another Nintendo direct sooner rather than later.

It's kind of surreal that we are finally on the week of Episode VIII debut. In some ways, I think this is the actual trial by fire of the franchise. The Force Awakens was enjoyable, but it was also a retread of the classic trilogy in several ways. This one will need to be more than that.

I have to assume Disney and Lucasfilm are pretty confident in Rian Johnson, what with giving him an entire trilogy for himself. Hopefully, that faith will pay off.

@NiceGuyNeon I think he means it’s a linear story-driven game, but with some areas big enough to explore for a while. In other words, something on the same mold as Uncharted and The Last of Us, but with melee combat instead of gunplay.

Considering how so many games these days are Open World, that doesn’t bother me. It’s nice to have a palate cleanser once in a while.

@Retro-Plissken Metal Gear Solid V was in production for how long? 4 or 5 years? Taking that as a basis (and assuming that Kojima was allowed a similar scale and budget for the production of Death Stranding), my guess is around 40% of the game completed.

I think we won’t see any proper gameplay until E3 2018 at the earliest. I also don’t expect the game to be completed until 2019.

I had forgotten this game was coming given how little we had heard about it since its initial debut. As a “creator set” it looks very impressive. I hope that, with the success of PS4, it manages gets more staying power than the late Project Spark.

The Paris Games Week definitely stole a lot of thunder from PSX this year. At least it’s nice to see the return of another classic from the PlayStation 1 era, and that Sony is still supporting the PSVR rather than treating it like… well, pretty much every other peripheral they have ever released.
